Bazaarvoice Named Top Austin Workplace for Second Year Running

Bazaarvoice today announced that it has been recognized as a Top Workplace 2011 by the Austin American-Statesman for the second year in the row.  Bazaarvoice was named #1 in the mid-sized category in 2010 and now leads the large business list alongside St. David’s Healthcare and Cirrus Logic, Inc. 

“One of the most important traits about Bazaarvoice is the incredible culture we have all created together,” said Bazaarvoice founder and CEO Brett Hurt. “It is a tremendous honor to be recognized for our culture, one that I am proud to share with our employees, partners, and clients around the world.”
